Description

Work hard, have fun, make history. That's what we do every day at Amazon. As a key leader within Amazon's Global Real Estate & Facilities (GREF) team, the regional AWS Space Program Manager role will oversee AWS teams’ space allocations and coordinate with space planners to manage, assign, and report on plans for AWS employees and team.

The Space Program Manager Lead will be expected to align real estate strategy to business needs in partnership with key GREF Stakeholders and maintain a customer centric approach. The role will lead a team of AWS Space Program Managers and partner with AWS managers, occupancy planning teams, and AWS space management teams to implement workplace design, space, and move needs for their assigned team(s), in order to inform supply and demand allocations and change requests. The role will be responsible for developing strategic recommendations to AWS managers regarding their workplace design and space allocation, and translating them into GREF’s broader business requirements that enable effective solutions in alignment with Amazon’s overall workplace strategy.

The optimal candidate is an experienced and engaging professional who will excel within an entrepreneurial culture – providing vision, leadership, and communication – not afraid to dive deep into details and take ownership. They should also understand the nuance of being approachable and consultative – providing direction/recommendations and fostering transparent relationships. The candidate must be able to balance frugality with creativity in offering solutions and approach problem-solving with an emphasis on root cause. An ideal candidate is able to navigate high levels of ambiguity and demonstrate a bias for action, taking calculated risks in a fast-paced environment.
